Our Worship
At North and South Leith we hold that love is the heart of the Christian belief. Love for others, for God and for the creation. We usually say the Apostles Creed at our services which is an ancient, traditional statement of faith. The more modern statement below, is very helpful in describing the desired direction for our relationship with God.
We believe that God has a purpose for us in this time and place.
We believe in living, hoping, laughing and enjoying the good earth.
We believe that people can change, attitudes can change, and that God keeps leading us towards life, and to a new world of justice and joy.
Our understanding is that life is essentially about relationships and so we try to give people opportunities to deepen these relationships. We hold four (Step) courses each year for people who would like to learn about the church, themselves, God and their personal opportunities in the ministry of the whole people of God.
Our Beliefs
At North and South Leith we hold that love is the heart of the Christian belief. Love for others, for God and for the creation. We usually say the Apostles Creed at our services which is an ancient, traditional statement of faith.

We believe in the God of life who creates and loves people, who acts in history, and who promises never to leave us alone.
We believe in Jesus of Nazareth, who is Lord and Redeemer, who wants not to be idolised but to be followed.
We believe that we live in the presence of the Holy Spirit;
without it we are nothing; filled with the Holy Spirit we are able to become creative, lively and free.
We believe in the church of Jesus Christ, a community where we find companions for the struggle of life; where we grow in understanding of the faith through worship, prayer, fellowship and action.
